Hermit-ically sealed.

SWIFT 1985 (Bury)

I am so very lonely, all of the time.
I wake alone.
I sleep alone.
I drink alone.
I eat alone.
I walk alone.
I talk, alone.

I am housed,
but within no home.

It’s like the thing of:
“Where do you stay?
Where do you live?
Where are you from?”

Here.

I don’t.

Warmth, now gone.
